The rapidly growing city of Fishers in Hamilton County is home to many families. The city is known for its festivals, nature preserves, and was ranked as one of the top 100 places to live in America in 2012. And we’ve proudly helped build equity for homeowners through our fireplace repair services and chimney solutions in Fishers, IN – and even some stone chimney rebuilds, like the one picture down below.

What was the problem with that stone chimney? Well, stone chimneys can seem like a different animal than brick chimneys, but the fundamentals are the same – keep water out and fires contained. This particular natural stone chimney had been taking a beating and was causing some serious issues for our customer. A lot of water had entered over time, and the chimney inspection for the Fishers, IN home revealed cracked mortar joints, water-logged stone, and a poor excuse for a concrete crown.

In fact, enough water had been trapped inside that we recommended our customer go with a roofline rebuild. Anything less than a stone chimney rebuild, using new natural stone, would leave our friends with a leaky chimney and continued frustration.

What was our chimney solution for this Fishers, IN house?

Once the work was agreed upon, our crew took the time to find a beautiful stone match. Finding this match is one of the most important steps in the process. Then began the process of restoring the chimney:

• Day one of the project began by tearing down the stone chimney to the roofline where a fresh start could begin.
• Next, new flue tiles were installed, black counter flashing was properly embedded into the mortar, and a new concrete crown was poured.
• We then equipped the stone with a drip edge, which allows water to shed away from the chimney.
• To top it all off, our team installed a new lifetime warrantied multi-flue to properly cover all flue tiles.

After all the repairs were completed, our team made sure the roof and surrounding areas were cleaned and left to our customer’s satisfaction.

Why Are Annual Chimney Inspections Important in Fishers, IN?

How often should you book a chimney inspection? Throughout the industry, it’s recommended that homeowners do it annually. And if you live in the Indianapolis area, we’re the techs for the job.

Chimney inspections of your Fishers, IN home allow your sweep to spot any small issues or problem areas before they become big and expensive to address. Think about it – if your flashing is starting to weaken, wouldn’t it be better to catch it early before water has a chance to seep through and stain your walls and ceiling?

Not to mention, as damage escalates, your risk of experiencing fire hazards, smoke in your home, gas leaks, and more increases too.

Fortunately, the techs at our chimney sweep company serving Fishers, IN are trained to spot it all. If you have even the smallest hint of damage or imperfections, we’ll be sure to catch it (and resolve it) early, so you can stress less.
